Any chance he gets Slack Off as an egg move?

Carracosta W/ Weakness Policy Sturdy Timid 252Spd/252 Attack Aqua Jet Shell Smash Stone Edge WaterFall/Earthquake/Superpower/Low Kick Yummy.

So the noteworthy distribution of Defog is something like: Articuno Charizard Scizor Dragonite Crobat Aerodactyl Zapdos Moltres Togekiss Gliscor Skarmory Flygon Salamence Lati@s Empoleon Starraptor Honckrow Skuntank Mandibuzz And any Gen6 that learn the move. That's some solid distribution imo.

Do boosts carry when you mega evo? I mean is there going to be some applications where it makes more sense to Dragon Dance and then MegaEvo, depending on what your facing? Also, how does mega evo'ing affect Rest/Sleep Talk? Can you at all?

Any updates on the distribution of Sticky Web?

Hyper Fang was the only attack with base damage that I imagine would be applied. I guess an argument could be made for Vicegrip? Still probably unlikely.

What is the Smogon philosophy statements regarding when something is 'ban worthy?' I recall 3 bullet points , 2 of which were 'offensive threats' and 'defensive threats' but I can't remember 100% and would like to view the exact statements. If this ideal is outdated, please update me as to...

What if Gamefreak clearly used one of Smogon's CAPs as a base/inspiration for a new gen 6 poke?

I think this is a fantastic list. Grasswhistle+Micle sounds super gimmicky and fun. As someone else said, a lot of your support is flavour-driven, and you should consider revising your reasoning. Great approach otherwise.

Keeping in mind the bigger picture, does Malaconda having Ice Fang impact popular types being used less? Does having Ice Fang impact less popular types being used more?

Ineffective Ability

With proper prediction, you should be able to either get off: 1 Bulk Up+Drain Punch (SD sets), 2 Drain Punches, force Terrakion to -2 with CC (Choice Band), or use Protect+healing to PP Stall all 8 Close Combat, or KO with the single Drain Punch after a round of LO damage. I don't see how...

I don't understand why the Hustle set would run Air Slash over a perfect accuracy, Hustle-boosted Aerial Ace.

The hard part about decentralizing Dragon is the only reliable way to counter them is to run a Steel. There's no ways to currently answer dragons without going some creative route with move or ability creating. If only there was an ability that could make CAP 5 immune to Dragon, Fighting, and...

I always thought the best way to eliminate hax is to create a point system in which you store point and spend them to achieve certain 'hax effects', and they would be the only way to achieve them. For example: +x points when you use a move with 100% accuracy -y points when use use a move with...

I always thought Surf was the standard over Blizzard. I haven't tested the set this gen, but is the extra turn Dive gives helpful?

The only time I have had Riolu successful was in a FULLY dedicated team. I used it extensively (125-150 games) and it does not ladder well. You never know what is going to be able to counter it because everything can carry Protect. I skimmed through the top 100 used pokes in OU and over 40 of...

Any VGM that doesn't look like CAP 4 could normally use can just be renamed. I don't understand why we're fixating on that aspect of it.

Sephimoth because behemoth and glorifly weren't slated
